Sewer Line Repair in Hercules, CA

Sewer Line Cleaning

At Absolute Plumbing and Drain of Hercules, we like getting the job done right the first time. And, to do this we make sure that we have all of the latest training and equipment.

One technique that we use specifically for sewer line cleaning is video camera inspection. This is the process whereby we send a waterproof camera into your sewer lines and take a video of the conditions.

This is especially useful to monitor the growth of tree roots so you know when you should replace or remove sections of pipe before they begin leaking and it helps us to quickly locate sources of problems such as clogs and obstructions.

Sewer Line Replacement and Installation

In addition to sewer line cleaning, the video camera inspection process is very useful in the case of sewer line pipes and fittings that need replacing. There are a variety of reasons that your sewer line might need replacement, and it can range from just a section of pipe to the entire system.

All of these circumstances are made crystal clear by the video camera inspection process. By being able to see your sewer lines from the inside out, the team at Absolute Plumbing and Drain of Hercules can detect a wide variety of sewer line problems, including:

• While some solid items might make it down the drain or flushed down the toilet, at some point they will get caught a long the sewer line pipe. The diameter of this pipe is minimal as it is only meant to manage liquids and small amounts of solid material. So, if a foreign objects gets rinsed down the drain or flushed down the toilet, it is highly likely that it will get stuck in the sewer pipe line somewhere. These obstructions cause serious problems, as the materials and liquids that come a long after the obstruction are essentially stuck and simple back up towards the house.
• Damage and breaks. It is not uncommon for your sewer lines to shift with the movement of the earth they are buried in. This scenario is amplified if it has been a particularly wet winter or, if the drainage system in your yard is not as efficient as it should be. When the ground gets wet, it gets soft, and that leads to severe shifting of the pipes buried in your yard. This severe shifting can easily lead to a break in the line or damage to the fittings. All of which will lead to sewer line materials leaking out of the pipes and into your yard.
• Tree roots. The roots of the trees in your yard are designed to reach far and wide for water and food to keep the tree alive. And, they will go as far and as wide as they need to. This includes all the way to your sewer lines. While it might sound gross to you, the material that can be found in your sewer lines is the exact sustenance that a tree needs to survive for many years. There is plenty of water and organic materials for the tree to feast upon. Having a network of tree roots in your sewer line is a definite disaster and will cause a flood of raw sewage in your yard.
